Scott Christy, the TU Wyoming Coordinator, was kind enough to send a link over regarding a nifty tagging project that just kicked off on Yellowstone Lake as part of the impressive collective effort to restore native Yellowstone cutthroat. It’s posted over on the Wyoming TU site here, though we’ve reproduced the full article here as […]
One of my favorite fishing memories was a drive-all-night trip to Yellowstone with some college buddies that landed us on the Yellowstone River in the park, fishing caddis dries to rising cutthroat. The fish and the water were beautiful and I remember thinking to myself that I must to come back this place again and […]
Yep, today be a hallowed day. It’s the opening day of the season in Yellowstone. Though not at all beyond the realm of reasonable season expectation, today’s weather will be a bit blustery and Yellowstoner reports a little new snow on the ground. This will be the first day in some time that one or […]
Yellowstone National Park’s Native Fish Conservation Plan has cleared a major administrative hurdle with the recent posting of the FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact).

Yellowstone Lake’s bulging floor has made the news again – Natl Geo’s Daily News blog featured the story on the 19th. Yawn. No, there’s nothing new to report. No, there hasn’t been another swarm of earthquakes attracting ‘end of the worlders’ by the busload. Turns out additional research regarding the bulge and associated magma bubble […]
More and more folks are enjoying the goodness that YNP has to offer, albeit most from the comfort of their vehicle and the pavement. From Al Nash at the park HQ last Friday: Yellowstone 2010 Visitation Tops 3.6 Million For the second year in a row, and for the third time in the last four […]
Yellowstone National Park opened yesterday for snowcoach and snowmobile traffic. Lets hope its another winter like the one pictured above, taken in West Yellowstone. Damnation, some snow and cold sounds pretty good right now. Down here its approaching 80 degrees again. Damn. This is the second year of the controversial winter plan for Yellowstone, which […]
Ended up taking a business meeting on the road through Paradise Valley and then on into the Lamar Valley of YNP yesterday afternoon. Pre-storm temps were relatively toasty – pushing 50 leaving Livingston right after lunch, and 42 in Gardiner an hour later. On the way out a nifty sunset…. The Soda Butte / Lamar […]
I mentioned several days ago we’d run down to Jackson late last week and caught the now pretty damned impressive Arnica fire in YNP just as it blew up. We were able to snag some nifty pics, some of which just might end up in Fish Can’t Read or in a series here on the […]
Just back from a couple of days out and about – the One Who Must Be Obeyed and I ran down to Jackson and Grand Teton on Thursday; we happened to catch the Arnica Fire burning in YNP just as it blew up on the morning of the 24th. I’ll throw some more pics up […]
